What is involved with asset management?
We constantly provide results that our fund/asset manager and investment clients appreciate. Freeths’ highly effective service combines know-how with creative technology to offer effective solutions. Our team deals with portfolios that are varied in terms of transactional and asset management requirements and split and given the breadth of our team we take heavy transactional volumes in our stride.
Our Real Estate team’s bread and butter is acquiring and disposing of assets, lettings, re-gears and advising on development opportunities, finance structures and tax structures.
We have substantial experience in dealing with opportunity funds and pension funds. We manage portfolios for a range of parties such as high net worth individuals and pension funds. This is expertise that we can put to work for you too – delivered with excellence from our well-established team.
Our systems and approach
Our service is backed by IT management systems that have won a number of innovation awards, and it is delivered with a pro-active approach. We have a committed Innovation & Development team, ensuring that we use up-to-date technology to provide an organised and streamlined legal service.
We have been advising local authority pension funds and other institutional investor clients for over 14 years and work closely alongside clients like Aberdeen Standard, CBRE and Colliers Capital.
